I look forward to it. <br />For what it is worth, your last one was one of my favourites (I&#39;m a sucker for Pound, specifically), which made the pause that much more, I dunno, noticeable.<br />I&#39;m guessing you are a grad student, or a professor, or an author, or some combination/permutation of the aforementioned. If you publish in other fora/channels then let me know as I&#39;ll certainly check it out.<br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178284085080580526.post-19426464078590248622017-02-11T22:15:21.880-08:002017-02-11T22:15:21.880-08:00Mike/Anonymous: Thanks for the encouragement.

They had a bunch of Pound books, and I exceeded my budget by buying three or so of them, including my first copy of The Cantos and Selected Prose. I felt I had to buy the latter because of the essay titles &quot;Immediate Need of Confucius&quot; and &quot;The Jefferson-Adams Letters as a Shrine&quot;.<br /><br />I like final writings best, from &quot;Drafts and Fragments&quot; on.
